Staying in Itoman



Transfer week!

I'm transferring!! Just kidding I'm not haha. I'll be staying in Itoman with Elder Wheeler, yayyy!! Oroku Elders are being whitewashed so that's sad, but I'm excited to see what happens! Elder Barlow is finishing his mission and I look back and I wouldn't be the missionary I am today without him, and I'm glad for his love and support. He'll go home and still be the same great missionary he is.

This week was an eventful one! The main thing is that we had a Halloween Party! Way great turnout and way fun! We had a lot of Eikaiwa students come. The ward went all out and there were a ton of games and a lot of great costumes. 

This week we also were able to visit some former investigators that have a lot of potential and are starting to teach them again. One of them is a Brazilian lady with the cutest kids! She has a lot of Friends back in Brazil who are members and so she is interested in learning more. 

We were able to go out to eat with Miyu! This girl who is a sister and daughter of members that we've been working with. She said she had interest! So we're going to try to meet with her again and teach her the Restoration. 

We haven't had very many progressing investigators lately, but there are various people we've been working with, we're going to start teaching about baptism more and see if we can get some of them progressing. 

One cool miracle this week: we were housing and met this girl who used to study at the church cause one of the members was a school teacher and had his students study at the church. And she had also been to church before. We gave her a book of Mormon and she said she'd read it! She also went to school in the Philippines and Canada so her English is way good

Not much else for this week! Just working! We're going to start visiting more less actives since it's a new key indicator in our mission. 

Love
Elder Lim

Breaking Records!

What a week!! Things have been crazy lately! After finally telling people that I'm going home we've been way busy with appointments! We also had a goodbye party at the church cause next week not everyone can come. Also this week at church was AMAZING! So a less active's wife and 4 kids (who are all active) finally returned home from America and it was so awesome having a full family at church!! Also a family from Aichi came and visited for obon. And then also a less active member came for the first time since moving to yatsushiro branch! All in all I think we had about 21 members at church!! That's a record by far! It was so fun! Also this week we made these sick notebooks for the members to use when they study the Scriptures! There's also a lot of questions that are in the Come Follow Me text that they can write in them. Scripture study is way important so we're hoping that they will all use the notebooks to enrich their studies! This week was also crazy

Happy Halloween

Hello! What a week! They fly by faster and faster! It's still pretty warm down here in Okinawa so we're way blessed! This week was transfer week, but luckily we didn't transfer so nothing too crazy on our end. But the Oroku Elders are both new and it's been fun working with such great Elders. Everyone is from Utah haha!  So this week we weren't able to meet with any investigators. We've actually kind of had to put them all on the shelf and start fresh again. Our main focus right now is contacting less actives and visiting members. We've seen a ton of miracles from doing so! There are a ton of lessons actives here. We met this one old lady who didn't even know she was a member! She was like, "oh yeah I was baptized but I don't really go to church or anything, like husband was a member though!" it's pretty funny to see, that's back before they had a baptismal interview and requirements haha.  We did meet with one potential

Wait the Extra Hour

Ola This week was awesome!! We were able to set a new baptismal date with another investigator! Her name is Riyo, from Osaka! We met her housing last week. We pressed the intercom on her door and at first she quickly said no to us, but then as we were leaving, she said wait! And asked if we were the American missionaries that teaches free English class. We said we were and so she was like, "I'm in the middle of work, come back tomorrow." so we go back the next day and she's not there, but we sit on her apartment stairs and drink drinks from a nearby vending machine cause it was pday, and we going to start housing the area at 6. It was 5pm and we didn't really have time to go home so we just decided to sit and wait. I stood up at 6 so start going and she walks up the stairs right at that time! She forgot and thought the appointment was at 6! She turns out to be way awesome and we are able to teach her the restoration and she agreed to meet again. We taught
